Alfred Packer went into the mountains
with his mining team


They were looking for gold in the mountains
to be rich and happy


They were lost while it snowed in the mountains
then met an Indian chief


The chief said there's death in the mountains
go back or death you'll meet


Alfred said there's gold in the mountains
convinced his mining team


They were starving walking in the mountains
with little food to eat


In a trapper's hut high in the mountains
their last meal they would eat


When the men fell asleep in the mountains
Alfred killed his mining team


Alfred searched the men in the mountains
and took all their money


Alfred sat and stared in the mountains
at his dead mining team


He cut up the men in the mountains
for some food to eat


Found a town walking back from the mountains
and went to take a peek


Left the meat in the snow in the mountains
then off to town was he


Went to jail for his deeds in the mountains
and was finally released
